Johnnie
Walker Blenders’ Batch Sherry Cask
Finish exclusive to travel retail.
Johnnie Walker Blenders’ Batch Sherry
Cask Finish is the latest expression to
come from Johnnie Walkers ongoing
experiments to deliver unique flavours
and serves. This is the seventh release
from the Blenders’ Batch series and the
first to launch exclusively in travel
retail.
Behind these Blenders' Batch whiskies is
a small team of 12 expert whisky makers,
who are consistently aiming to prove that Johnnie
Walker can push the boundaries of what’s
possible for flavour in blended Scotch
whisky.
As the Johnnie Walker fans amongst you
will know, your favourite blend has
always been crafted with an element of
sherry cask maturation. Drawing
inspiration from this, and driven by the
pursuit of flavour, this new Johnnie
Walker Blenders’ Batch whisky has been
matured in sherry casks, enhancing the
fruity flavours to create an
exceptionally rich and sweet Scotch.
Created with whiskies from distilleries
such as Blair Athol, Cardhu and
Strathmill, Johnnie Walker describe the
new Blenders’
Batch Sherry Cask Finish, which has been aged 12 years,
as a
smooth-sipping dark whisky with notes of
sweet vanilla, smoke, raisins and a
warming finish of dark chocolate.
 Johnnie Walker Blender Aimée Gibson
commented: "Johnnie Walker Blenders’
Batch whiskies are the result of bold
experiments that push the boundaries in
flavour. Taking inspiration from the
element of sherry cask maturation in
Johnnie Walker Black Label, I was
intrigued by the rich and fruity element
it brought to the blend. It inspired me
to experiment with the sherry cask
finish to awaken more of these fruity
notes and to add a unique flavour
dynamic. The outcome has been
extraordinary; Johnnie Walker Blenders’
Batch Sherry Cask Finish is a sweet and
rich whisky. It’s the perfect
introduction for those who are new to
Scotch whisky, but will also excite
seasoned whisky lovers."
Dayalan Nayager, Managing Director of
Diageo Global Travel added: "This is a
special launch for Diageo Global Travel
because it’s exclusive to our customers.
You won’t get your hands on this whisky
anywhere else, making it the perfect
purchase for travellers who want to gift
something truly special."
If you have know plans to travel in the
near future you will find the current
Johnnie Walker whisky range including
some previous Blenders Batch bottlings available from
specialist online whisky shops such as
The Whisky Exchange and
Master of Malt
